    Polishing my dull trim?

    This discussion of polishing the aluminum trim on our Comets & Mavs goes way back. Now, what is the final verdict? Does the hair and grease remover still do the job of cleaning the dull aluminum? Does it do any damage to the trim, long term? Finally, am I to polish it with the Happich polish or clear coat it afterwards? What works better? My Comet GT is in the paint shop and I want this trim sparkling soon! Thanks!
